I'm only just hearing about the suite from skiff.com and curious if anyone here uses it. They've been around for 3 years and apparently offer an open sourced encrypted suite. They're mainly known a Google Docs alt, but I just learned they offer encrypted mail, calendar, and cloud (10GB for free) along with their docs. Sorta blew my mind as I'm pretty acitve keeping up with privacy news. Is it just cause I use Cryptpad this is news to me and its some folks go to?

I use them as my main email but don't consider them truly private for anything sensitive until they prove it with a clean track record.

For now, they're "at least they're not Google" status to me. I would use Proton instead if the free tier didn't lock spam/trash folder auto deletion behind a paywall.

I think this is an important difference. The are are several services that I use, not because they've been able to prove themselves in the long run, but rather because they're not Google.
